§ Mr. Forresterasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has received about providing National Health Service homoeopathic medical treatment in the North Staffordshire health district; and what plans he has to do so.
§ Mr. MoyleNo representations have been brought to my attention about the provision of such treatment in the North Staffordshire health district. The Staffordshire area health authority has no plans to introduce homoeopathic medical treatment in the North Staffordshire district. Any doctor, however, may, in the exercise of his clinical judgment, prescribe any form of treatment which he considers appropriate for his patient.
